Session sponsored by All-Russian Public Movement of Medical Volunteers

The key goal of the Promoting Public Health National Project is to increase the number of citizens who follow a healthy lifestyle. Healthy lifestyle can be defined as a certain concept according to which a person is physically active, gives up bad habits, eats nutritiously, and looks after their mental health. The foundation for all rules of leading a healthy lifestyle is healthy habits, and a number of programmes and projects are being carried out among the public that help to build up and reinforce them. To organize successful work in this area, it is important to understand what methods of creating the right habits, approaches to the public, and formats of work to make a healthy lifestyle popular are most effective. Volunteer organizations that have their own projects focused on growing the public’s motivation to lead a healthy lifestyle are actively involved in helping make the healthy lifestyle popular. For effective and concerted work of volunteers and the government, it is important to realize what the focus needs to be when volunteers work with the public. It is important to understand which approaches to building healthy habits and developing the healthy lifestyle values are most effective, and what vectors there are for growth of volunteer activities in the healthy lifestyle area.
